Garden of Memory
High on Twmbarlwm, where the clouds touch the land and the wind carries whispers across the valleys.
We have placed painted stones in memory of children gone too soon. A quiet place where love lingers, where memories rest, where names are spoken to the wind and carried far beyond.
This is not just a memorial — it is a place of connection.
Each stone holds a name, a symbol, a story. Some were left by us, others by bereaved parents who wanted their children's names to be part of this place.
My daughter Tima grew up in Risca, in the shadow of Twmbarlwm, walking these paths, playing beneath these skies. Now, here, her memory and those of her friends rest among the hills that watch over the town.
The Stones
Photographs from the hillside — each painted stone a small act of love and remembrance.
Leave a Stone
If you visit and wish to leave a stone in memory of a loved one, you are welcome to do so.
A name, a message, a symbol — each stone becomes part of this quiet space, resting together in the soft embrace of the hills.
Location: Twmbarlwm hill, above Risca, South Wales. The hilltop is accessible via the footpaths from Risca or Cwmcarn Forest.
What to bring: A smooth stone, a name, a symbol, painted or written with love. Leave it among the others near the summit.
“Each stone becomes part of this quiet space, resting together in the soft embrace of the hills.”
